How are Escitalopram and Fluvoxamine different, and what makes fluvoxamine so special? In most countries escitalopram is first line treatment for GAD. Also, if I may ask which SSRI’s don’t lead to weight gain.
Fluvoxamine interacts with the sigma receptor. Escitalopram does not. Fluvoxamine has a shorter half life. Weight gain and antidepressants: Emotional eating, indifference and effects on appetite. ruclips.net/video/HhGlYf7hOdU/видео.html
excellent video very well presented well i started on on sertraline 25mg on 27/2 this year i wanted agomelatine he wouldn't give it me. i had a watched senil rege video on it; 25mg they were too much for me so i broke them in half and that was too much, so i through the towel in went onto cal mag zn and 3 different amino acids at night and occassionaly B1 from aura soma for exciteabilty and that is all from mother nature which does not offer side affects. well you have australian living australian bush flower and essences from australia and the sun is out every day i thought people in australia are very reslient. sadly is this country you have the lowest of the low in the NHS. i think sertraline is valid if you are young and have a life a puspose and meaning which sadly i don't. with buristis ME my mood none of these which actually help me. the sertraline did act lke a PTSD for me but mother nature has come up with white spider lily an oriental womens essence and there nothing can beat that
I have a question about changing up meds from SSRI to SNRI for a day. That is a really small dose, especially since it also takes a few weeks to accumulate to start working, could you explain that a bit?
We mentioned that I sometimes add reboxetine (an NRI), not an SNRI. I avoid SNRIs (generally). “Takes a few weeks” is a flawed idea. The pharmacology happens fast, sensitivity reduction and tearfulness can improve on the first day but it takes time for the accumulated negative emotional state to resolve. It takes time for others to stop walking on eggshells. It takes time for things to feel less bleak. SSRIs make you feel less sensitive, they don’t make you feel happy. They reduce incoming negative emotion. Negative emotion load takes time to resolve. People typically feel the effect of NRI on mental energy within an hour. But not every feels that to be a benefit (e.g the anxious/distressed may feel worse)
Brilliant. Now I get how these things actually work! Thanks and I like that you challenge the pharma BS narrative
